What makes this 'the easiest way'? Register To Vote did a great job of a quick register to vote process... is this battle of the easy-ness 😛 ?? I like seeing a site that is modern which is tackling politics - here in the UK, the gov pages are clunky and outdated... in need of a fresh makeover What have been some of the biggest issues to overcome when buil… See more

Following on from Bens question, have you looked how long the process would take someone to register/vote?

@bentossell they did a great job and we drew inspiration from the existing options of registration tools + identifying the bottlenecks. The biggest problem area we found in most experiences is when you live in a state that doesn't have online registration so you have to use a printer to print out a form, get an envelope and a stamp then mail it.

@bentossell An aside: As horrible as the UK government pages may be, they're far better than Canadian ones. elections.ca is actually probably the best of Canada's government pages, which is scary. Also, some of the UK's pages are amazing. And you guys have government-provided APIs!
